To the mixture of egg, yogurt, lemon juice and honey, mash in half a banana. Mix well until no lumps and make a paste.

Apply the masque to your hair. Make sure each section of your hair is covered. Remember to massage the mask on your hair for a couple of minutes. Once you are done, let it dry for half an hour. You can also use a hair dryer to dry each section of your hair completely.
